This Steel Gets Real- Real Steel: The IMAX Experience


Charlie Kenton: He's a Spawning bot, built to take allot of hit's but never dish out any
Max Kenton: Get him a fight!
**** out of *****
(4 out of 5)

Real Steal is a futuristic film, about the change of the boxing game, now replacing humans with robot's. This movie is NOT the Rock em' Sock em' Robot's movie, but it sure as hell look's like it, when I first saw the trailer for this film, I was not at all interested, Hugh Jackman really went down hill in the past three years, and it was making me nervous on how this would turn out, after the third trailer was released, I decided to give it a shot, and with the IMAX thrown in there I was defiantly down. After I watched this film, I was blown away, good direction, exceptional special effects, pretty good acting, a good cast, and kick ass robot fighting scenes, this movie impressed me and kept me entertained from start to finish, and I honestly want this movie to be added to my blu-ray collection, it has allot of good element's tat makes it what it is, even know I've seen the father son story done 100000,0000 times it's always good to mix it up in a new film.


The film follows Charlie Kenton, who is a dead beat and has no money, and has allot of debt to pay off, he buys junk bots and trys to make cash, It's not working out for him so well, after another loss, he is bombarded with news that his ex-wife has passed away, and he has to be a father, he decides to take the kid for the summer, they bond while finding a junk yard robot Atom, and train him to be the best. It really lives up to it's expectations because it has everything you want in a film like this, comedy, cheese, action, and a heart felt connection between a father and a son. 


The film doesn't fail with entertaining, it just lacks in the run time, I would love to have been watching this film for at least another half a hour, it only has a runtime of 2hrs and 6 minuet's so it leaves you wanting more, but it still lives up to the hype and offers more than you bargained for, it has it all and leaves you happy from start to finish. The IMAX experience was pretty amazing also, nice sound and picture, it made you feel like you were in the audience cheering.
